2019 VRC ST LEGER – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Transact will be rolling on and 8, 9, 12, 14 and 16 all can be prominent. Should see a true staying test.

STARS OF CARRUM (1) should be able to settle handy up to this trip. A rise in trip can suit but it's the drop in class that looks most significant. Have seen this race go the way of the Derby also-rans in the past and his Derby effort was good. His VRC Derby effort at this course was terrific and it's a standout piece of form for this.

AMERICAN IN PARIS (3) and CONVICT SAM (7) are both promising stayers with good upside through the Galilee Final which rated well. They look like chances along with TRANSACT (2) who will make his own luck and the stable have had success here in the past. ROCK DOVE (12) has some hope if she stays.

2800m TURF GOOD

Form Preview

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained three-year-old gelding Transact staged a solid staying performance in recording his first stakes success here, his third win from 11 starts. He went to the front and then travelled along comfortably at a reasonable pace under Luke Currie before getting a break on turning for home. He then fought back gamely to score a good win, running the 2800m out well. Godolphin's filly Rock Dove raced in fifth place, moved up at the home turn, went to second at the 200m and steadily made ground, getting to within a neck on the winner at the post. American In Paris was a handy third from his inside barrier (1), went to second on straightening and kept battling on to take the minor placing. The favourite Stars Of Carrum raced back in tenth place, made a wide move nearing the home turn, got to sixth at the 200m and kept making ground, without threatening, for (1.3 lengths) fourth.
